Seeing that Shen Qiu had been silent for a long time, Long Er urged him anxiously.
"Why don't you express your opinion? You haven't said a word for a long time."
Shen Qiu smiled bitterly, raised his glass and clinked it with Long Er.
"Look at me, I'm injured like this, do you think I can compete?"
"I think you can. This little injury is nothing to you. It's just a drizzle."
Long Er said without even thinking.
"Thank you."
After Shen Qiu finished speaking, he raised his glass and drank it all.
"There's no need for us to be so polite. I have a list of the main contestants of the Blue Alliance. I'll share it with you first."
Long Er raised his bracelet with a smile and transmitted the data to Shen Qiu.
Buzz~
A prompt suddenly popped up on Shen Qiu's bracelet.
"New file received."
Shen Qiu immediately opened the file and chatted with Long Er while flipping through it.
"Of course, you have done a very thorough job of intelligence work. You even know exactly what the other party likes to wear and eat. It seems that you have put a lot of effort into this Star Envoy Competition!"
"That's a must."
Long Er took a big sip of white wine and replied in a good mood.
However, the more Shen Qiu looked through the information, the more he couldn't hold back his expression, especially when he saw Ogusa kill an MX232 monster alone, he felt bad all over.
He raised his head and stared at Long Er.
"Keep reading the information. Why are you looking at me?"
Long Er urged with a smile.
"I'd rather not go to the competition. It's more reliable to lie down at home and recover from my injuries."
“Don’t!”
"What do you mean by 'other'? They are all a bunch of evildoers. Do you want me to get beaten?"
Shen Qiu rolled his eyes at Long Er.
"You have to have confidence in yourself. Those people are nothing to you."
Long Erxiao immediately flattered Shen Qiu with a smile.
"Okay, I know my own worth."
Shen Qiu's head was shaking like a rattle.
"Oh, I'm really short of manpower here, so just join. And let me tell you, the rewards for this competition are very generous, and the benefits after being selected are even better. If you don't believe me, take a closer look."
Ryuji persuaded with a wry smile.
"The first place prize is really generous, the second place prize is also considerable, and the third place prize is real estate and 2 billion Blue Alliance coins, as well as a large number of modules, which is also good."
Shen Qiu called up the reward evaluation and said, especially when he saw that there was reward money for the third place, he was also a little tempted.
"How is it? Are you moved?"
Ryuji asked with a smile.
"I am moved, but I don't have the confidence."
Shen Qiu replied helplessly. He saw at a glance that it was clearly written in the rules that it was strictly forbidden to use potions during a fight, which meant that his trump card was directly wasted.
"It's okay. I have confidence in you."
Long Er picked up a peanut and said with a smile.
Shen Qiu pondered for a moment and asked solemnly.
"Seriously, Ryuji, do you have any strategy prepared?"
"Yes, we have decided to give up the first Star Envoy and focus on the second and third Star Envoys. As long as we can take these two positions, it doesn't matter even if the overall number of seats is a little less."
"That's a good strategy. How about this? I'll participate in the competition and help you get the 24th Star Envoy position. I'm confident in this."
Shen Qiu replied in a good mood.
Ryuji said unhappily.
"Does the 24th star make you embarrassed? If I want this seat, I will still come to you?"
"You are looking down on the 24th Star Envoy."
"Stop messing around, at least help me get into the top three."
"You really think highly of me. Although the other party is mainly competing for the first position, those who cannot grab it will be demoted. Then it will be difficult for the second and third star envoys."
Shen Qiu sighed and replied.
"Nonsense, it's not difficult for me to come to you?"
Long Er said with great emotion.
Shen Qiu suddenly thought of something, and he said to Long Er with a smile.
"Long Er, you are half my mentor, right? You are also very powerful. How about you go down and get first place, and I will help you get third place. Then we can exchange rewards. I am also very curious about that mysterious gift box."
After hearing this, Long Er also laughed and scolded.
"Your plan is very well-thought-out, but I can't beat you. I still have self-awareness."
"cut."
"Okay, stop messing around. Wu Di and the others are also participating in this fight. Let's join them!"
"Will Bai Mucheng participate?"
Shen Qiu's expression changed slightly, and he asked after thinking for a while.
"She didn't participate, but her father did."
Long Er said to Shen Qiu meaningfully.
"Oh, I see."
"Okay, brat, tell me straight out, are you going to participate?"
"You've come to me, how can I not give you face? I will definitely participate, but don't be impatient! Isn't it clearly written in the rules of the competition that you can participate before it ends?"
Shen Qiu agreed seriously.
"Okay, your words are enough. Here's the invitation."
Long Er nodded in satisfaction and handed a special invitation to Shen Qiu. He thought that although this brat was a little lazy, he would really go there when there was something to do, and it was worth his effort to ruin the matter.
Shen Qiu took it and said after a moment of hesitation.
"By the way, I need your help with something."
"What's the matter? Tell me."
"I have a batch of secret gold, which is worth about 30 billion Alliance coins. Please help me pay for it! I need the money urgently, and it would be best if it can be deposited tomorrow."
"Secret gold is a scarce commodity and is easy to sell. I'll take it on behalf of the Red Alliance."
"By the way, please don't charge me transaction taxes or anything like that. I'm almost broke."
"Haha, don't worry, I get it."
Ryuji agreed readily.
"Okay, drink!"
Shen Qiu was in a very good mood and raised his glass.
“Done!”
Long Er picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Shen Qiu's, and drank it all in one gulp.
…
Late at night.
Shen Qiu stood at the door of the company, looking at Long Er's leaving back with a thoughtful expression.
At this time, Bei Kailun appeared beside Shen Qiu and asked with interest.
"I didn't expect you to be convinced."
"There's nothing I can do. Sometimes people just can't help themselves. Since I can't avoid it, I might as well take the initiative to fight it."
"I understand what you said, but I'm a little surprised. Why do you suddenly want to ship the goods?"
Bei Kailun asked curiously.
"It's simple, because I suddenly thought of something. The prizes for the competition are hard to get, but that doesn't mean there's no profit, you know. And you probably don't have much money left, after all, you support so many people."
Shen Qiu said to Bei Kailun.
"I see. I feel like this Star Envoy selection will be very interesting."
Bei Kailun had a very bright smile on his face.
"Of course. Tell Huang Lang to deliver the goods to the person designated by Long Er."
"no problem."
"After you finish, go to bed early. The competition will officially start tomorrow. We will go to the scene to take a look then."
Shen Qiu gave a simple instruction and then walked back.
…
The next morning.
Shen Qiu called Yun Xiaoxi and others over and started to make arrangements.
"Huang Lang, Zhang Can, Aklu, the decoration of the building is now in your hands. We will be watching and participating in the Star Envoy Selection Competition in the near future."
"No problem, go ahead. Hurry up and grab a position. Then we can move freely in the City of Stars."
Huang Lang said excitedly while rubbing his hands.
Yun Xiaoxi was quite surprised and asked.
"Shen Qiu, do you want to participate? Will it be dangerous?"
"Don't worry, this is a regular match, not a death fight. And let's not leave so quickly, let's wait and see first!"
Shen Qiu replied with a smile, and at this moment the bracelet suddenly vibrated.
He glanced down and saw a text message pop up.
"Reminder: You have a payment of 30.5 billion Alliance Coins."
"Long Er is always reliable. Lao Bei, I'll transfer the money to you and you'll be responsible for placing the bet."
Shen Qiu then operated the bracelet and transferred all the money to Bei Kailun.
"no problem."
Bei Kailun showed a hint of excitement.
After seeing this, Chen Ye swallowed and said to Bei Kailun.
"Old Bei, please don't press it recklessly. This is all our property."
"That's what I used to do. Do you think I'd do it randomly?"
Bei Kailun glanced at Chen Ye.
"Uh, okay."
Chen Ye scratched the back of his head and replied.
"Let's go, we have to hurry to the Star Arena. If we go too late, we'll miss the opening ceremony."
Shen Qiu waved his hand decisively.
"Great! I heard it's very lively there now."
Yun Xiaoxi said very excitedly.
"I'll drive!"
Chen Ye ran out swiftly.
…
More than an hour later.
Shen Qiu and his friends drove in an off-road vehicle towards the 3rd ring Starry Sky Arena.
You can see very lively scenes along the way, with all kinds of balloons and ribbons tied on both sides of the road.
All advertising spaces in the building are broadcasting content about the Twenty-Four Star Envoy Selection Competition without distinction.
"Shen Qiu, it feels like it has become so lively overnight! It's like a large-scale festival."
Yun Xiaoxi said in amazement.
"Yeah, it's been a while since it's been this lively."
Shen Qiu sighed.
"Boss, look, that's the Star Arena in front, right?"
Chen Ye shouted excitedly.
Shen Qiu looked far away and saw a huge circular bird's nest building at the far end. The entire building was made of metal frame and special glass. It covered an area of more than 40 square kilometers and looked very magnificent as a whole.
"Yes, it's really spectacular!"
Shen Qiu praised from the bottom of his heart, saying that it was an honor to be able to compete in such a high-level arena.
At this time Qi Dong came over and said.
"Boss, I heard that this Star Envoy Selection Competition will be broadcast live."
"Normal. If I'm not mistaken, the reason they did this is most likely to show everyone the power of the Twenty-Four Star Envoys and let everyone feel at ease about the City of Stars."
Shen Qiu looked at the starry sky arena in the distance and replied in a daze.
…
Not long after, Shen Qiu and his team arrived at the gate of the Starry Sky Arena.
There were so many people gathered here, many of them brought their families to watch the game.
On the streets, many people dressed as clowns and animals pushed simple stalls selling various snacks and toys, and many children excitedly surrounded the clowns.
"I want this..."
…
Shen Qiu looked at this scene and even had the illusion that he was here to watch a large-scale concert and a football game.
"Make way, let's take a picture."
A young couple said politely.
Shen Qiu quickly made way and walked towards the gate of the Starry Sky Arena with Yun Xiaoxi and others.
Suddenly Yun Xiaoxi stopped and looked to the distance on the right, her eyes fixed on that place.
Shen Qiu stopped in confusion and looked in the direction Yun Xiaoxi was looking. Not far away there was a cotton candy stall surrounded by children.
"You want to eat?"
"Well, is that okay?"
Yun Xiaoxi replied hesitantly.
"Of course."
Shen Qiu smiled and walked towards the stall with Yun Xiaoxi.
Chen Ye and others stood there waiting.
Soon the two came to the cotton candy stall, and Shen Qiu asked with a smile.
"Xiaoxi, which flavor do you want?"
"I want strawberry!"
Yun Xiaoxi pointed her finger at a pink marshmallow.
"Give us a strawberry-flavored marshmallow, too."
At this moment, a deep and powerful voice came from the side.
Shen Qiu turned his head subconsciously and saw a young man with short black hair, a tough face, beast-like eyes, and a terrifying sense of oppression. He was accompanied by a 1.42-meter-tall, cute girl.
These two people were Long Xiu and An Wei who came to participate in the competition.
However, Shen Qiu didn't know them, so he just took a glance and then looked away.
The middle-aged stall owner glanced at Shen Qiu and Long Xiu, picked up two strawberry-flavored marshmallows and handed them to each of them, saying with a smile.
"Here, these are your marshmallows."
"Thanks."
Shen Qiu and Long Xiu reached out to take it and handed it to Yun Xiaoxi and An Wei respectively.
The two of them happily took it and started eating.
The uncle looked at this scene and said with a smile.
"These two young ladies are your sisters, right? It's rare to see a brother taking care of his sisters these days."
Shen Qiu and Long Xiu's expressions froze. They didn't respond to the uncle, but left with their people.
The uncle scratched his head and muttered softly.
“Did I ask the wrong question?”
…
On the other side, Chen Ye looked at Shen Qiu and the other person coming over and spoke quickly.
"Boss, let's go in quickly. There seem to be too many people. We will miss the opening ceremony later."
"Okay, let's go."
Shen Qiu led everyone towards the entrance.
Soon they arrived at the entrance ticket gate and were stunned by the number of people in front of them.
The ticket gate of the Starry Sky Arena is located very outside, but after passing the ticket check, you still need to queue up for security check, and the security check line inside has already formed a long queue.
At this time, a blonde girl with her belly button and slim waist exposed and wearing a work badge came over and said.
“How many!”
"Four will do. I have the rolls."
Shen Qiu took out the invitation ticket that Long Er gave him.
"One hundred thousand blue alliance coins per person."
The girl smiled and picked up a small rectangular instrument and said.
“So expensive?”
Shen Qiu was also a little surprised by the price.
"This is the price of the general ticket, it is uniform."
The girl in front of me replied with a smile.
“Swipe the card.”
Bei Kailun then took out a card and swiped it to buy four ordinary tickets.
"Thank you for your patronage."
The girl bowed to everyone and her service attitude was impeccable.
"Boss, how long do we have to wait in line? Judging from the situation, we won't be able to get in for at least an hour."
Chen Ye stood on tiptoe and looked inside.
"To be precise, you need to queue for an hour and a half. But sir, you have a VIP invitation ticket, so you don't have to queue here. You can go directly through the VIP channel next to it and enter without any obstruction."
The girl said to Shen Qiu with a smile.
"What about my companion?"
Shen Qiu asked helplessly.
"It's simple. They can buy four SpeedPass tickets and go in with you through the VIP channel."
"How much?"
"Not expensive, 50,000 Blue Alliance Coins per person!"
The girl blinked and looked at Shen Qiu with anticipation.
When Shen Qiu heard this, he said to Bei Kailun with a very strange expression.
"Bei Kailun, this arena couldn't be run by the Blue Alliance, right? Why does it feel like everything costs money?"
"You're talking nonsense. If they don't make money from such a big event, they must be crazy."
Bei Kailun replied as usual.
"Okay, buy it, buy it."
Shen Qiu sighed and replied.
After purchasing the fast pass tickets, Shen Qiu and his companions entered the venue smoothly through the fast track.
They entered the circular hall of the Sky Arena. The entire hall was decorated magnificently. The floor was paved with pure gold bricks, and overhead were luxurious crystal chandeliers. At the end of the hall were passages leading to different venues and directions.
At this time, uniformed bionic robots, which are 95% similar to real people, are guiding the spectators to different entrances. In addition, you can see round mechanical balls with thin mechanical wings flying quickly towards the spectators, with packaged items in their mechanical hands.
"Wow, Boss, this arena seems pretty advanced."
Chen Ye exclaimed.
Angie stuck his head out to take a look and whispered to Shen Qiu.
"This place is well built, with many advanced equipment."
“It’s good, but it’s expensive.”
Shen Qiu was still feeling pain over the ticket money. If he had known earlier, he would have asked Long Er for a few more invitation tickets last night.
At this time, a female bionic robot with short hair came over and spoke in a soft voice.
"Dear guests, I am the bionic robot Anne. You need to go to the A2 and N7 entrances."
"Why isn't it a passage?"
Shen Qiu asked with a frown on his face.
"It's like this, the A2 channel leads to the VIP seats, and the N7 channel leads to the ordinary seats."
Anne replied.
"Can I take them to the VIP section?"
Shen Qiu asked with a headache.
"No, a VIP guest can only bring one assistant, and there is no seat for the assistant. However, I can quickly add VIP tickets here."
Anne replied.
"How much?"
Shen Qiu sighed and asked.
"One hundred thousand blue alliance coins per person."
Annie's eyes lit up and a payment interface was projected.
Shen Qiu took a deep breath and said to Bei Kailun.
“Pay!”
Bei Kailun raised his bracelet and swiped it.
"Thank you for your patronage, please follow me!"
Annie saluted to Shen Qiu and the others, and led them towards the entrance of Channel A2.
When they came to channel A2.
Annie reminded them to step on the mechanical grid on the ground and not move, and the next second, the mechanical grid moved forward automatically.
"Shen Qiu, this is so convenient."
Yun Xiaoxi said with some excitement.
"Um!"
Shen Qiu forced out an ugly smile. He had already been ripped off before the game even started. The people from the Blue Alliance were really good at making money.
…
Half an hour later, Shen Qiu and his friends arrived at the A2 viewing area.
The core of the entire Sky Arena is actually a square competition area with a side length of 5 kilometers, surrounded by different viewing areas.
At this time, the square competition area with a side length of 5 kilometers was divided into 24 fighting platforms.
The A2 VIP viewing area is on the right side directly opposite the No. 1 fighting stage, and on the left side directly opposite the A1 VIP viewing area.
"Shen Qiu!"
At this time, a hearty shout rang out.
Shen Qiu raised his head and looked towards the A2 viewing area in front of him, only to see Wang Hao waving at him.
Many of the people sitting in the A2 viewing area were people Shen Qiu knew, including Chu Wuji, Lin Yanyi, Lei Jing, Cui Mucheng and others.
They all waved to Shen Qiu, and even if there were people he didn't know left, Shen Qiu still thought they looked familiar.
Shen Qiu then took Yun Xiaoxi and others over.
Everyone greeted him enthusiastically.
"Mr. Shen Qiu, you are here."
"Mr. Shen Qiu, I'm counting on you this time."
…
“I’ll do my best.”
Shen Qiu replied modestly.
At this time Wang Hao came up and said to Shen Qiu excitedly.
"You're finally here. I heard from Brother Wang Shi that you might not attend. It seems I was worrying too much."
"I originally had no intention of participating, but this is not an option."
Shen Qiu said with a wry smile.
"Are you too embarrassed not to come?"
Chu Wuji came over and joked.
Shen Qiu looked at Chu Wuji, who was full of energy, and said with bright eyes.
"Chu Wuji, have you made a breakthrough?"
"Haha, you figured this out. That's a small improvement."
"Really? Then this competition depends on your performance. Do you want to try to grab the first star envoy?"
"Huh? You want me to grab the first star envoy? Are you expecting me to die?"
Chu Wuji replied unhappily.
"How could that be! After you absorbed that module, didn't your genetic level reach S-level?"
Shen Qiu asked in surprise.
"No! My gene level is still A+, but it's at the top. I feel like I've reached the edge, but something is missing. I just can't break through no matter what. You're really the one who killed me."
"Stop, how come I'm the one who killed you again?"
"If it weren't for you, would I be in so much debt?"
Chu Wuji replied helplessly.
"Haha, there's no rush for this."
Shen Qiu responded with a smile, but Chu Wuji's words gave him a lot of inspiration.
If he guessed correctly, to break through to the S-level gene level, it is not enough to simply stack gene modules, it seems that other conditions are required.
"Okay, let's stop talking about this. Let me ask you something."
Chu Wuji waved his hand and said.
"Just ask."
"Which Star Envoy are you planning to capture this time?"
"Honestly, I haven't made up my mind yet. I may need to see how others fight before making a decision. If the opponent is too strong, I can only choose the Star Envoy seat at the back."
Shen Qiu replied seriously.
"Don't be so strong. I feel like you can even compete for the title of the First Star Envoy. If you can't do that, then we have no chance."
Wang Hao didn't believe Shen Qiu's words at all.
"I didn't lie to you."
Shen Qiu replied helplessly.
In fact, Shen Qiu is very clear about his own strengths and weaknesses. He is a thunder-type, and this type of ability is very advantageous against mechanical and metal enemies, but if it is a duel between masters, the effect is only average, and it is not as useful as the super power type.
The most important point is that the potion he relied on was banned. In a normal battle, he might not even be able to defeat Zhuo En, so how could he get the first place
Just as Wang Hao was about to say something, he saw the crowd around him suddenly stop talking.
Shen Qiu and the others turned their heads and saw Long Xiu and An Wei walking in.
Everyone present greeted him respectfully.
"General Long Xiu, you are here!"
Shen Qiu looked at Long Xiu and An Wei and asked in surprise.
"What is that?"
"General Long Xiu is the strongest of the five generals of the Red Alliance. He is the main force of this competition. Let me remind you that Long Xiu's status is different from the other generals, so don't offend him."
Chu Wuji introduced to Shen Qiu.
"That's not the case. We don't have much in common."
Shen Qiu didn't take Chu Wuji's reminder to heart.
"That's good. I won't tell you anymore. I also have to go up and say hello to Long Xiu."
Chu Wuji said with a cough.
"I have to go, too."
Wang Hao also said this.
"Go ahead!"
Shen Qiu waved his hand and replied with a smile.
The people who were originally surrounding Shen Qiu all walked towards Long Xiu. For a moment, Long Xiu became the center of attention.
Shen Qiu didn't care. He took Yun Xiaoxi and others to find an empty seat and sit down.
Bei Kairen, who was sitting on the left side of Shen Qiu, showed an excited smile and reminded Shen Qiu.
"If you want to rob a Star Envoy, you must tell me in advance, so that I can find an opportunity to place a big bet and make a lot of money."
"No problem. In fact, whether or not you can get the competition reward is not the most important thing. If I can make a lot of money, it won't be bad even if I lose."
Shen Qiu said after pondering for a while.
"Are you willing to play a fake match?"
The smile on Bei Kailun's face became brighter and brighter.
"It depends on the situation. It's not impossible."
Shen Qiu smiled and replied.
Bei Kailun then said very seriously.
"Captain, that dark market is run by a professional veteran, and the odds are strictly controlled. If you want to make money, you only have one chance!"
"Oh, what do you mean?"
Shen Qiu asked curiously.
"It's very simple to make money. You can either wait for a strong opponent, and then when this opponent has defeated a large number of people and reached the peak of popularity, you can come on stage. At this time, I will bet heavily on you, and then you will win by surprise and defeat him. In this way, our profits will be very high. Of course, you have to choose to kill everyone, and then find a weak challenger, deliberately let him win, and then I will bet heavily on him to win. Of course, you have to act well, otherwise you will easily get beaten when you go out."
Bei Kailun explained to Shen Qiupu.
“As expected of a veteran.”
Shen Qiu gave Bei Kairen a thumbs up.
At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind.
"Shen Qiu!"
Shen Qiu turned his head and saw Wu Di and Long Er walking towards him. He then raised his hand and waved to them.
After Wu Di came over, he slapped Shen Qiu on the shoulder and said in a very good mood.
"Brother, we can fight together again this time. How about we each grab one of the 2nd and 3rd seats?"
"Wu Di, you really think highly of me."
Shen Qiu replied with a helpless smile.
"You have to be confident and have dreams. Otherwise, you are nothing but salted fish. What if you get lucky and succeed?"
Long Er brainwashed Shen Qiu with a smile.
"Stop giving me chicken soup."
Shen Qiu didn't buy it at all.
At this moment, Shen Qiu suddenly felt a strange gaze.
He turned his head and looked around, and then saw a little old man with a wound on his face.
When Bai Lin saw Shen Qiu looking at him, he turned his head away proudly.
Shen Qiu then withdrew his gaze.
At this moment, mechanical balls with wings flew into the VIP seats and presented black glasses to everyone.
Shen Qiu picked up the black glasses and recognized them at a glance.
"Holographic amplification glasses."
"That's right. With these glasses, you can watch the fights from a distance with a magnified view. You can also use virtual projection to watch any match you want."
Long Er gave Shen Qiu a brief introduction.
"This arena is so advanced, it must have cost a lot of money, right?"
Shen Qiu thought for a moment and asked.
"Of course. Okay, let's stop talking now. The opening ceremony is about to begin. I'll tell you some details about the fight then. Listen carefully."
After Long Er gave Shen Qiu his instructions, he walked over to Shen Qiu and sat down.
"OK!"
Shen Qiu put on his glasses and replied.
At this moment, the holographic virtual device started up, and the huge competition area in front of them instantly turned into a dazzling stage.
The scene was filled with powerful music, and then one by one, sexy and energetic girls in uniform came on stage and performed the opening welcome dance.
The crowd of spectators in the stands suddenly became excited, and some even blew loud whistles.
Countless people waved and cheered excitedly.
"here we go!"
Bang~
At this time, countless spotlights were all focused on an exit below.
Only then did Blue Alliance Speaker Oroco, Vice Speaker Tiwana, Vice Speaker Wang Heng, and Vice Speaker Yunkong come out.
Then the arena was filled with the sound of a male host’s passionate speech.
"Everyone, now we can see Speaker Oroco, Vice Speaker Tiwana, Vice Speaker Wang Heng, and Vice Speaker Yunkong entering the venue. The four adults will serve as referees for this 24-star envoy selection competition..."
Shen Qiu looked at Blue Alliance Council Chairman Oroco and others and said with some surprise.
"The judging is really important this time. It seems that the 24-star selection is more important than we thought."
"Of course. After all, they were selected to protect the City of Stars."
Bei Kailun twisted his neck and said.
At this moment, the four people of Oroco were already standing in the center of the stage, and Speaker of the Oroco Council spoke in a deep voice.
"The selection of the 24 Star Envoys this time is related to the future safety of the City of Stars, so this selection is very important and will not tolerate any cheating. Anyone who breaks the rules will be severely punished! Now I will start to announce the details of the competition! Since we are competing internally, adhering to the principle of friendship first and competition second, it is impossible for both sides to fight to the death during the duel. Therefore, the injury status shall prevail, and any party that is injured by 30% will be automatically judged as the loser!"
Following Oroko's words, all the contestants at the scene began to discuss.
"But how do we judge this?"
"Yeah, even if I can still fight and I'm judged as the loser, I won't accept it."
…
Shen Qiu was confused when he heard this rule.
"How do you determine that the trauma has reached 30%?"
At this time, Long Er, who was sitting in the front row in front of Shen Qiu, turned his head and said to Shen Qiu with a smile.
"Don't worry, just watch!"
When Shen Qiu heard what Long Er said, his eyelids twitched.
At this time, Speaker Oroco raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. Immediately, the huge venue quickly calmed down, and he said in a deep voice.
"In order to ensure the fairness of this competition, please welcome the fifth referee, Serni!"
Swish!
Suddenly, a virtual girl with long black hair and perfect facial features appeared in front of everyone.
Angie secretly poked her head out to take a look and said in shock.
"AI Serni!"
Shen Qiu was also shocked when he heard what Anji said!
In fact, everyone in the entire stadium was shocked.
Speaker Oroco introduced everyone.
"Selni! The artificial intelligence of the City of Stars has unparalleled computing power. She can accurately monitor the status of all contestants in real time and provide dynamic injury information! The error is almost zero, and it is absolutely fair and just."
All the contestants at the scene burst into applause.
Pah pah
At this time, Long Er asked with a smile.
“Isn’t that awesome?”
"Awesome, you all have this."
Shen Qiu took a deep breath and said.
"Normal. Let me tell you, this artificial intelligence has some connection with you."
Long Er said to Shen Qiu meaningfully.
"What does it have to do with me?"
Shen Qiu looked at Long Er in confusion.
"Do you remember the thing you snatched back from Captain Stormbike?"
Long Er said with a half-smile.
"Remember, wait, you're not going to say that this is what I took back, right?"
Shen Qiu reacted suddenly and looked at Long Er in surprise.
"That's right!"
"No wonder the Storm Legion from Selnica City attacked the City of Sunken Star. It seems that since you have taken their artificial intelligence, it would be strange if they didn't fight us to the death."
"Shh~"
Long Er raised his hand to signal Shen Qiu to stop talking. The attack caused many casualties and deaths.
Shen Qiu shut up and said nothing when he saw this.
At this time, the artificial intelligence Cerni bowed gracefully to everyone, and she spoke in a heavenly voice.
"I am honored to be the fifth referee. Please give me your guidance!"
Suddenly, the applause at the scene became even louder, filled with excited discussions.
“That’s amazing!”
"It feels like a dream. I didn't expect that there would be artificial intelligence in the City of Stars."
…
Speaker Oroko raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
The boiling scene gradually calmed down.
"I now officially declare that the 24-star selection competition has begun!"
Speaker Oroco then solemnly announced.
"Yeah!"
“It’s finally started!”
…
There was thunderous cheering at the scene.
Shen Qiu was also quite excited at the moment, and he was looking forward to the upcoming battle.
After making the announcement, Speaker Oroco left the venue with Vice Speaker Wang Heng and several others, and they walked towards the referee's seat.
Shen Qiu immediately stared at the No. 1 fighting stage. He was very curious about who would be the first to go.
In fact, eighty percent of the people at the scene were like Shen Qiu, staring at the No. 1 fighting stage. After all, the selection of the first star envoy was the highlight.
As a result, Shen Qiu and the others waited for a long time, but no one came on stage.
